Bull
Two monster rounds capped by a mile you'll wish you saved something for.
2 rounds for time of:
200 Double-unders
50 Overhead squats: 61/43 kg
50 Pull-ups
Run 1 mile
This is a long, mixed-modal grinder that tests skill under fatigue and then makes you run a mile on empty. The double-unders punish tight shoulders, the overhead squats demand mobility and a stable midline, and the pull-ups pile onto an already-fried grip. Pace the first round so you can actually run the second mile, break the pull-ups and squats early, and stay smooth on the rope rather than tripping your way through 400 total skips.
- · Double-under: rope passes twice per jump
- · Overhead squat: hip crease below the knee with the bar locked out overhead, 61/43 kg (135/95 lb)
- · Pull-ups: chin over the bar, full extension at the bottom (kipping allowed)
- · Total volume: 400 double-unders, 100 overhead squats, 100 pull-ups, 2 miles
- · Reduce to 100 single-unders or 100 double-unders per round
- · Lighten overhead squats to 43/29 kg (95/65 lb) or fewer reps
- · Band-assisted pull-ups and an 800 m run per round
- · Break the overhead squats and pull-ups into planned sets from the start to avoid failure.
- · Stay relaxed on the rope; big unbroken double-under sets save huge time.
- · Hold something back in round one so the second mile is a run, not a walk.
